As a child I thought I would never grow up, that I could will it so. And then I realized, quite recently, that I had crossed some line, unconsciously cloaked in the truth of my chronology. How did we get so damn old, I say to my joints, my iron-colored hair. Now I am older than my love, my departed friends. Perhaps I will live so long, that the New York Public Library will be obliged to hand over the walking stick of Virginia Woolf. I would cherish it for her, and the stones in her pocket. But I would also keep on living, refusing to surrender my pen.

Wonderful quote. As a woman reaching the autumn of her years, this is especially prevalent. Thank you.
That’s the thing I loved about it, there was something different for everyone in this book. I’ll have to lend you my copy in July xo
Can’t wait! She’s so fabulous.
She and the book are both fabulous.
